The Tackling Cancer Foundation has been so well supported in Texas, that it is super excited to announce its fall raffle fundraiser!
Proceeds generated will be used to support the Any Baby Can Candlelighters Childhood Cancer Foundation in Texas as well as the Vanguard Cancer Research Foundation in California.
“We are really excited to be involved again” said Rick Marshall from the Katy Barbarians Rugby Club in Houston.
“Our rugby club raised several thousand dollars through the first Tackling Cancer fundraiser, and we know this one will be another massive success” enthused Marshall, who is also the President of the Texas Youth Rugby Association (TYRA).
The Tackling Cancer non-profit foundation was created to support leading cancer researchers while promoting safe and active lifestyles for today’s youth through sports. By leveraging the global participation of rugby, the foundation and its donors will help tackle cancer.
The Texas fall raffle will run from September 1st to December 1st, with the drawing taking place on December 15th 2010.
The amazing prizes are listed as:
